As someone who isn't really in touch with board game news and upcoming games, this sort of list so really helpful! Definitely has me keeping an eye on some of these now
My most anticipated in no order The Dark Quarter, Critter Kitchen, Undaunted 2200: Callisto, Dead Cells, Leviathan Wilds, From the Moon, Harrow County, Forsaken, Tidal Blades 2, and Andromeda's Edge.
An Age Contrived has such a satisfying feel to the components and a unique action selection mechanism wrapped up in it along with a changing board state as you build those beautiful magnetic wonders. So excited to get to play it again! Floe definitely has the critter character cuteness factor going on, and its pedigree doesn't hurt. Definitely looking further into that one when it launches.
Great list. Age contrived is one I decided not to back but will hunt down for sure at release. Floe was not on my radar but its getting there. Unconscious minds and Andromeda's edge are my top 2 most anticipated.
The base game of Critter Kitchen has slightly more to it but is accessible. There are a bunch of modular ways to increase the crunchy bits - most in the expansion but some too in main box. Player powers, new workers, location abilities, etc.
Civulution - very interested Forsaken - backed Forsaken looks interesting.... but not sure. Once - Pass Dead Cells - Pass Critter Kitchen - yeah, I'll play this. Malhya - does look interesting, but i didn't back. Clank 2 ? Huh. Okay I'll go get clank 1 legacy.
Probably Sleeping Gods Primeval Peril as I’ll probably never play the original but PP looks like a great way to at least get a taste of the system. And I’ll probably be able to convince my wife to play it with me. Also Cascadero because Knizia tile-laying game…not much else needs to be said. And Wyrmspan because Wingspan is one of the few games my wife actively enjoys/asks to play and she was intrigued when I showed it to her. It looks like a more complex and sandboxy version of Wingspan which will be a nice change of pace.
Some of my favorite games are made by the people who are designing Dead Cells. One of my favorite video games of all time. I am hoping a LOT for that one.
I don't believe I have seen Wyrmspan show up on ANYONE's most anticipated list... though I suspect it will sell more copies than almost anything on these lists
What, no mention of Elizabeth Hargrave? She’s involved in Wyrmspan (discuss it, don’t just sneak namedrop it at the end!) and also codesigned Undergrove, the game of growing forests through smart mushroom play.
Well, it was games, not designers. When I recorded this, I didn't know about Wyrmspan (I think), and I've already played Undergrove and thought it was ...fine.
Legacy games are SO stupid. Who has the money to play a game a limited amount of times? I lose respect for Dice Tower every time they endorse a legacy game.
That's called an opinion, everyone has them, even if some people are very wrong. I've put in more plays of Legacy games and gotten my money's worth than I have of many other games I own.
Legacy games have their place. I’ve heard of people framing their Pandemic Legacy boards and putting them up in their living rooms. I also am a fan of Legacy Games that could be reset.
Thanki you! How about a 10 Ten list of games that hit the table on a regular basis?
Love this
Because of what they do, I doubt how often they can have certain games on table regularly. So many games to go through.
@@ChaBox998makes it all the more meaningful!
Great list! A gest of Robin Hood, Red Dust Rebellion, Forsaken, Agemonia
Number One for me is Arydia, hoping it gets to us by the end of the year!
Galactic Cruise, Pampero, Civolution, Sankoré also on the list!
same, was hoping Arydia would get a shout

Woot, 2 Cardboard Alchemy games - cheers!
yup.. waiting for floe as well. endless winter + everdell? too adorable to ignore.
Glad to see Critter Kitchen on #4! Wooot
Forsaken getting that acknowledgement that is deserves 💜😁👍
Yeah super excited about that one.
Can't wait for Forsaken!
An Age Contrived has such a satisfying feel to the components and a unique action selection mechanism wrapped up in it along with a changing board state as you build those beautiful magnetic wonders. So excited to get to play it again!
Floe definitely has the critter character cuteness factor going on, and its pedigree doesn't hurt. Definitely looking further into that one when it launches.

Thanks for the mention of Andromeda’s Edge! Can’t wait to share that far and wide!
Very interesting list! I got flamecraft and found it gorgeous but not very replayable. The cooking one looks similarly light.
The base game of Critter Kitchen has slightly more to it but is accessible. There are a bunch of modular ways to increase the crunchy bits - most in the expansion but some too in main box. Player powers, new workers, location abilities, etc.
Heat Heavy Rain is my most anticipated THING this year, and I'm a Paper Mario fan.
I get it. Didnt help that previous paper mario was a bit disappointing.
@@mydemon I think he's excited for the Paper Mario TTYD remake. One of the best JRPG ever.
Here we go. Was waiting for this.
Arydia is my most anticipated but doubt it will get to us this year
Ugghh 🙏🏽 I hope you’re wrong.
Civulution - very interested
Forsaken - backed
Forsaken looks interesting.... but not sure.
Once - Pass
Dead Cells - Pass
Critter Kitchen - yeah, I'll play this.
Malhya - does look interesting, but i didn't back.
Clank 2 ? Huh. Okay I'll go get clank 1 legacy.
Arydia! Really hope i get it by Christmas!
Fantasy game from "Xia" designers? Yes!!!
I have a few:
Vijayanagara
Red Dust Rebellion
On the Underground: NYC/Paris
Holotype: Mesozoic Europe
Through Ice and Snow
Ah, no love for Heroscape? I'm excited for the relaunch in August!
I'm surprised Tom didn't include Worldspanner, but maybe that won't actually come out this year?
I'm really looking forward to Diatoms and Wondrous Creatures!
Probably Sleeping Gods Primeval Peril as I’ll probably never play the original but PP looks like a great way to at least get a taste of the system. And I’ll probably be able to convince my wife to play it with me.
Also Cascadero because Knizia tile-laying game…not much else needs to be said.
And Wyrmspan because Wingspan is one of the few games my wife actively enjoys/asks to play and she was intrigued when I showed it to her. It looks like a more complex and sandboxy version of Wingspan which will be a nice change of pace.
I'm very much looking forward to Doggerland !
Clank! Legacy, Critter Kitchen, and the Dark Quarter are mine.
Some of my favorite games are made by the people who are designing Dead Cells. One of my favorite video games of all time. I am hoping a LOT for that one.
Fingers crossed for Feast for Odin: The Danes
love the tie
I’m also really looking forward to clank! I was hoping fractured Sky would be on this list!
Freedom Five may actually come out this year.
We agree on the Clank2!
I don't think Floe has even been crowdfunded yet has it?
No, but it launches soon (end of Feb.).
I stopped backing Kickstarters a while back. Dead Cells and Slay the Spire are my last 2 I am waiting on, hope they're good!
isn’t Jonny Pack designer of Coloma, Merchant’s Cove 😮🎉
Whaaaaaaaaat?! No Worldspanner Factions?!?!? I thought Tom loves Duel of Ages! :O
Spirit Fire if it delivers. Otherwise Tidal Blades 2, Maladum or Agemonia.
Primal, Unconscious Minds, Tainted Grail KOR, Slay the Spire
No mention of 7th Citadel? :(
I'm surprised you didn't mention Wyrmspan on your list.
I don't believe I have seen Wyrmspan show up on ANYONE's most anticipated list... though I suspect it will sell more copies than almost anything on these lists
I think people generally anticipate orginial games over re-themes.
The dominion IOS app is coming Feb 1st.
2:32 Sorry.... BoardGameTables
Definitely surprised that the Mistborn deckbuilder by John D Clair was not on the list. I would've imagined it was right up Tom's alley.
The wheel of time game coming from direwolf we know nothing about it except that it was teased . Ill be there day 1 with a pre order for that one
No way Floe is coming out this year.
Civolution looks kind of ugly but I love Feld and the concept sounds cool!
Surprised to see a Feld on your list. You're usually not that high on him.
THERE IS A CLANK LEGACY 2 COMING - 🤯
YES THERE IS!
critters kitchen not as cute as Maple Valley 😅
How about a top ten list of best mass market games. Im being serious. I honestly would love to know.
Why?
The elder scrolls betrayal of the second era by chip theory
What, no mention of Elizabeth Hargrave? She’s involved in Wyrmspan (discuss it, don’t just sneak namedrop it at the end!) and also codesigned Undergrove, the game of growing forests through smart mushroom play.

@@thedicetower cool, cool. I’m just amazed when designers can be so involved in more than one presumably good game within the same year.
Starting to feel that there are just way too many games. Titles come and disappear in a heartbeat.
Tom, it’s not Scorpion Masque. It’s pronounced Scorpion Masqu-eh.
Legacy games 🤮
